[SOLVED] Using CB Auto Actions - Generate category and folders in JoomDOC Component?

Hello...

Is it possible to generate a category and about five folders within that category, in JoomDOC component using CB Auto Actions?

Example:

A New User is created in CB. At that time, automatically there is a category created in JoomDOC named as the New User, while at the same time, create and name about five more folders/categories within the New User named category.

Can this be done? Tips? It really seems like an awesome solution.

Thank you!!

I don't know, We're not JoomDOCs developer so I've no idea if you need to be using API or a simple SQL. If you want to do this on user create then you'd act on the onAfterNewUser and onAfterUserRegistration triggers then use a Code action if you need to use PHP for API or use a Query action if you can use a simple SQL query.

Hello!

Thank you for this info. Programmer/Developer pride in their product shows through again. I sent your note to the folks at Artio (JoomDOC), and they kindly responded with answers to your questions about using the JoomDOC API, may be all we need to get to the next step.

I don't know if I should post it here, or if it's sort of protected info as I have an advanced subscription there as well.

How can I get this info to you without posting here?

Thank you!!

There's nothing I can do with that info. You need to use the API in a Code action with Method set to PHP. Consult with them further if you've any questions regarding their API usage. Your initial auto action configuration should be as follows.

Global
Triggers: onAfterNewUser, onAfterUserRegistration
Type: Code
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Action
Method: PHP
Code:

Hello, and thank you Kyle...

I set up an Auto Action for this, but now when I create a New Registration, after I hit the Submit button, the system sends the request and upon return from server, I get a blank page.

Curious, on the Action tab in the plugin config page, the last option is, as you know, Return. What should be entered there? Default is 'echo'.

I will do some more testing. Thank you much for the initial info.

FYI, thought I would add the code entered for this action:

I will also share with the fine folks at Artio.

Do not include PHP tags in your code (remove <?php and ?>). It executes your code as an inline anonymous function. Be sure to enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration so errors can output. Your code doesn't need a return so it can be set to Silent.
